LAPP circuit diagram generation via eBUILD Free now possible
Headquartered in Stuttgart, Germany, LAPP is a leading supplier of integrated solutions and branded products in the field of cable and connection technology. The company’s portfolio includes standard and highly flexible cables, industrial connectors and cable entry systems, customized system solutions, automation technology and robotics solutions for the intelligent factory of the future, as well as technical accessories. LAPP’s core market is in the industrial machinery and plant engineering sector. Other key markets are in the food industry as well as the energy and the mobility sector.
Industrial communication from a single source: from the sensor, actuator and control level to the ERP-system - LAPP helps you realizing entire networking cabling solutions for the reliable transmission of the highest data volumes. Therefore LAPP provides you with highest product quality. Because a single component that fails can already cause enormous costs due to a machine downtime. Therefore, LAPP connection solutions are ideally suited for demanding conditions and offer maximum reliability even under chemical, mechanical and thermal stress.
The advantages at a glance:
- Products for all common protocol standards
- Protocol-independent expert advice
- High-performance copper and fiber optic cables
- Complete solutions from one source: cables, connectors, patchcords & switches
For years, LAPP has been one of the most requested manufacturers in the EPLAN Data Portal, where it provides a lot of component data in the area of industrial communication free of charge.
In addition to the component data, many customers want support in the area of schematic creation. For this reason, LAPP and EPLAN have created a joint eBUILD library for the LAPP ETHERLINE(R) patchcords. This library is available in eBUILD Free via EPLAN ePULSE. It allows you to configure pre-assembled cables. The configurator allows you to compile the protocol, the cable types and the matching connectors. As a result, a schematic with e-shop link is then automatically generated for you for the circuit diagram creation as well as downstream ordering processes - and all this without having to change media.
